Eagle Cliff rises above Somes Sound, the fjord-like inlet that cuts deep into Mount Desert Island on the Maine coast. Its steep granite face and the calm water below drew artists and summer visitors to the area in the late 1800s, when painters of the Hudson River and luminist traditions found the island's dramatic shorelines ideal subjects. Somes Sound is often called the only true fjord on the U.S. East Coast, a fact that gives views like this one a particular geological interest. Worth noticing is how the scene balances open water against the heavy mass of rock.
